P.L-M.: During my first visit to Sally's home, I found myself floun- dering in my explanation and searching for words. The Hemni-Sync technology and product information aren't easily accessible to blind folks. I realized I couldn't draw diagrams to explain the process or show her the catalog. I was concerned that Sally wouldn’t be able to remember one tape from another with over 200 choices available. On --- PAGE 4 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC JOURNAL the second visit I let go of my confusion and simply asked Sally to “take me into your world and guide me.” I listened carefully to Sally's medical and personal histories, highlighted by diabetes and nar- colepsy which were diagnosed while she was in high school. Ritalin was prescribed to combat the drowsiness of narcolepsy. Sally reported a lack of ability to focus her attention and low self- esteem. She began using Attention and Off-Loading from the HUMAN PLUS (H-PLUS) series. In the evenings, when sleepiness overcame her in spite of the Ritalin, she used the Concentration tape. Sally worked as a student in a radio broadcasting studio during the day and had to be physically rested and verbally quick. To aid in these efforts I recommended she use the H-PLUS Speak Up and Reset tapes. ‘S.K.: When I told my mother about my interest in using this unusual approach, she expressed feelings of skepticism and had reservations about the results. I began to feel very anxious and instinctively recited

Maybe it was the way I said it, but from then on it was my mother who noticed and pointed out how I was changing. For instance, when | used Aéfention it was as if someone opened the top of my head and breathed fresh air into it. All of my senses snapped open! A major event occurred when my pastor at church asked me to give the Palm Sunday children’s homily entitled “Blessed Are the Blind,” describing my experience of blindness, and to sing a favorite song of mine for the congregation. I used the Function Commands for Attention, Speak Up, Off-Loading, and Reset during my talk to the kids. Having taken singing lessons for a long time, I was aware of the importance of breath control. After invoking the Function Com- mands, I was amazed to feel my breath expand like an endless balloon. Hardly any stagger breaths were necessary to retain my control. I was able to continue speaking smoothly, evenly, and easily. In the past, I wouldn’t have had the courage or the words to accomplish this. P.L-M.; Sally was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in March of 1990 and surgery was advised. Two other surgeries in the past year had caused weight loss, hypoglycemic episodes, and had added to her
feelings of losing inner control. Sally began to dread the surgery. She asked to use the Emergency Series Hemi-Sync tapes and gained the support of her orthopedist, anesthesiologist, and nursing team. Sally followed the recommended approach, using each tape repeatedly at Sally expressed . . . pride in her ability to be a partner in her healing process. the appropriate times. She negotiated to have a local surgical in- tervention rather than general anesthesia. After the procedure she experienced significantly less pain, and used no pain medication for the first six hours. In the Recovery Room she ate heartily without experiencing nausea or vomiting and did not have cyclic constipation during her four or five days post-op. Although after previous surger- ies she typically dropped to around 89 pounds, Sally experienced no weight loss following this procedure. At the first dressing change three days post-op, her surgeon remarked about how clean and clear her suture line looked. It is unusual for diabetics to heal so quickly and so well. Sally expressed a great deal of pride in her ability to bea partner in her healing process. This was in contrast to her old, passive behavior of assuming her healing was being done to her. She was aware that her new attitude was instrumental to her increasing feelings of inner control. S.K.: Tasked Patricia to help me begin the GATEWAY EXPERIENCE home course for my spiritual growth.
